Recently, we published the list of all T.D’s who voted to reduce the minimum wage. While the cut was not to be applied to those already in employment, the Davenport Hotel introduced the reduction against some of their workers already in employment there. The staff, all Eastern European, had a major victory today at the Labour Court when the court called for the workers to be reinstated and the cut reversed.
The Labour Court has recommended that five SIPTU members in dispute with the operators of the Davenport Hotel in Dublin after refusing to accept a cut in their minimum wage should be reinstated and that their previous pay rates be restored.
The Court has also recommended that the five accommodation staff be paid all the monies they would have earned had they not been removed from the work roster in early February.
In a major vindication of their position the Court today also recommended that the five women, all from Eastern Europe, should be included on the duty roster that is due to take effect on Wednesday (9th March).

Fantastic. I’m delighted for them.
Fantastic news and the only good news this lasghed few weeks ‘cept for Loverpills win over Carrick Ferfuson. Management are by and large scum, specialising in doing nothing while forcing others into a sort of slavery.
